S& S or more specifically Olin Stephens used to analyze the rating rules for finding out what was worth doing and not doing to get a favorable rating. The other dominating rating rule at the time was the CCA rule used in the USA. The rule differences were biggest for the rigs, and therefore the rig dimensions used to be different depending on where the yacht was going to race. Also draft variations were common. It could be mentioned that the two rating rules were soon merged into one – at an ITC meeting in London in November 1. RORC and CCA rules with the new International Offshore Rule which contained features from both of them. S& S had with the time built up an extensive library of completed designs which could be used as a reference for new projects, and also in this case it is obvious that an earlier design was used as a basis for #1. In the list of S& S designs one can find #1. Because lines drawings and related calculations at the time had to be made manually it saved a lot of effort if existing information could be used with just some small modifications. It can be pointed out that a S& S design of this age has very good performance on the wind, particularly in a blow, but does not readily surf off the wind, instead there is a tendency to rolling and broaching. In Finland 1. 0 yachts of GRP according to Design #1. It appears the builder’s type notation is not necessarily the same as the designer’s, and some caution is needed in this respect if only one of the notations is known. It is also possible that the as built main dimensions differ from the numbers stated in the list of designs. The name of the new yard was Teksoglass. A company with this name already existed, but so far it had manufactured glassfiber weaves. It is likely that these weaves were used for the boatbuilding, but the yard’s history was very short, it was laid down in 1. Finland, 5 to Sweden, and 2 to Norway. The driving force behind this boatbuilding project was . He had an active interest in offshore racing, had established contacts with S& S, and the knowledge for performing scantling calculations for the yachts. GRP was then a new and unknown material for boatbuilding, and it is likely that Lloyd’s scantling rules at the time partly built on . The outside was then painted in a color to the owner’s choice. The owner of the first hull was G. Olofsson owned BOO- HOO until 2. Hans Johansson and Joakim Wilenius. One of the Swedish yachts was named GALLANT, and she was painted light blue. The others were named GONNY, ANN- CHATRIN (later KRISTIN AF ARK. For the Swedish yachts the woodwork and outfitting was done by Bergviksvarvet, Bromma (near Stockholm). The Norwegian yachts were named SIESTA and NORSEMAN, and the latter was somewhat different as she had the rudder moved aft and separated from the keel. NORSEMAN was extremely successful and won 4. IOR racing between 1. It is possible that some other of the Teksoglass- built yachts also has the modified rudder arrangement. The Teksoglass moulds were bought in the 1. Turun Ter. The first hull was ready in the spring 1. Six yachts were built, one of them has the rudder separated from the keel, and another has sailed around the world. A copy of the brochure for Aquarius 4. German language is appended. S& S also sold the same drawings to other clients. HONEY was renamed ISADORA, and was sold to Finland, where she got back her original name. The name HONEY is mentioned in the S& S design list, and it is likely that she is the original Design #1. May 1. 96. 5, which is quite remarkable for a small boatyard. In Denmark the Walsted yard built PAM to this design in wood 1. Finland, and has the rudder separated from the keel. In New Zealand a wooden yacht was built 1. COTTON BLOSSOM, and is now in Ireland. Further two wooden yachts were built in Australia, one was named CORROBOREE. One was built in Hong- Kong named COLUMBINE, and two in Italy, more about them below. S& S had a big and international clientele, and solely of this design 2. One wonders how Rod Stephens managed to inspect them all. He did inspection trips about once every month all over the world, and mentioned once that he had much more flight hours than aircraft captains – they have limits for this. In the S& S list the next line after Design #1. Design #1. 76. 7. The main dimensions are exactly the same, but the client was the Italian Navy, and the year 1. Two wooden yachts were built, named NAUSICA and CALYPSO. They are still in good shape, but for some reason they are not mentioned in the list of Italian Navy Sail Training vessels. This list mentions, however, two much larger two masted S& S designs, #1. They deserve a short presentation. One of them, named CORSARO II participated successfully in the Transpac Race 1. She took also part in the Sydney Hobart Race 1. The other yacht is STELLA POLARE, she won the Giraglia Race in 1. Two years later she won the Bermuda – Travem.
